your Lord's command - you are in our eyes - and glorify and
praise your Lord when you get up.
Also during the night glorify Him, and at dawn asthe stars fade away.

peace -
Peace bro wakas the article is not there to prove the traditional prayers its there so i could know wut is the view of my bros n sis of free minds wut they think of that n if a traditionalist say hey here is the proof wut would be our answer to that i know there is alot of posts on freeminds site some of them clearfy my confusion about but some don,t thats why i,m puting these quetions or topics so i have a clear knowledge i know i have to be patient but i can ask quetions or opnions of my fellow bros n sis peace

peace bro wakas ok i will explain my position were view with the following verse
Therefore, be patient in the face of their
utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise
and before sunset. And during the night glorify Him, as
well as at both ends of the day, that you may be happy.
we will divide the verse on the bases of timing
1 before sunrise
2 before sunset
3 during the night
4 both ends of the day1 we should praise n glorify our Lord before sunrise whicih is the fujre prayer clearly mention by name in Quran
2 we should praise n glorify our Lord before sunset now as a former sunni i know that at the mentioned time Asar prayer is being offered .
3 we should praise n glorify our Lord during the night here God has mantioned clearly a time whicih is not near but during the night well the time when sunni offer isha prayer n mantioned by namein Quran.
4 we should praise n glorify our Lord at both ends of the day now if here Allah clearfy n expound his ayet so we could understand one end is clearly the sunset end of day n its after the sunset because before sunset is mentioned before in the verse so its the time after sunset not before sunset know lets come to the other end of day it could be the time after the sunrise but its not u wanna know why the answer is not from me the answer is from Allah You shall observe the Contact Prayer (Salat) whenthe sun declines from its highest point at noon, as it
moves towards sunset. You shall also observe (the
recitation of) the Quran at dawn. (Reciting) the Quran at
dawn is witnessed.
as explain above in the verse when sun declines from its higher at the day whicih is the wormest part of day so when the sun start descending its apporxmatly 12 o clock n than sun starts declines n the day start to cool down gradully u can check this time at any scientific web site or book related with weather or metrology

peace,
i looked up the 1778
and then i said okay you say zenith is the middle of the day but really what is the zenith of the sun?
and does the quranic arabic even use this term "zenith"???
-
Salam,
if you approache salat verses where physical prayer can fit in,then you can get the instruction you are seeking.Arnold yasin's article on salat in the quran alone at www.19.org is a good starting point for those who do not want to fix the quranic meaning to any one word in preference to all other fitting/logical/applicable meanings.Salam.

Salam,
Are you related to Ahmed?

As Salaamu Alaykum Naxus
Your translation of 1778 is correct and below are three links that addresses 1778/20130 and more

I just want to provide you with encouragement to say that you can arrive to the correct understanding pertaining to how many times we are suppose to do Salaat even if you do not have sound Arabic knowledge because this subject matter is so simple and clear it does not really call for that. But its easy to get caught up in a bunch of confusion even when dealing with people who claims to know Arabic, so be aware...

Fajre Prayer
Therefore, be patient in the face of their
utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise
and before sunset. And during the night glorify Him, as
well as at both ends of the day, that you may be happy.It says here to praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise and before sunset. But does it say pray to your Lord? The questions is does praise and glorify equals pray? It says only glorify during night, not also praise ...?
You shall steadfastly persevere in carrying out
your Lord's command - you are in our eyes - and glorify and
praise your Lord when you get up.It says here glorify and praise your Lord when you get up. Does that mean to pray, i mean, does glorify and praise equal pray?
Also during the night glorify Him, and at dawn as
the stars fade away.See, here we are told to glorify Him during night, not during prayer, does that mean, glorify Him during night, any time, or during prayer? Then it says and at dawn, that must be the fajr prayer and then says as the stars fade away. Now, does this mean one time - and at dawn as the stars fade away - or does it mean two times - at dawn, being one time and as the stars fade away, being second time?
It seems more logical that it means one time, right? I think we are informed what dawn means, it means it is the time when the stars are fading.God knows best.
You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) at
both ends of the day, and during the night. The righteous
works wipe out the evil works. This is a reminder for those
who would take heed.This is clearer to me observe the contact prayers. If The God wanted to tell me to glorify Him at both ends of the day, He would've told me, right? If He wanted to tell me to just do the prostration that time, He would've told me, right? If He wanted to tell me to read Quran for 25 minutes at both ends of the day and during the night, He would've told me, right?
The God does what He wants to do.
Therefore, be patient in the face of their
utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before
sunrise, and before sunset.See, again, it says here and praise and glorify your lord and tells us also when - before sunrise and before the sunset. It tells us what to do and when to do.
Therefore, you shall glorify GOD when you retire at
night, and when you rise in the morning.Here, also, it says to glorify GOD when you retire at night and when you rise in the morning. To glorify - is that the same as to pray or praise?
O you who believe, permission must be requested by
your servants and the children who have not attained
puberty (before entering your rooms). This is to be done in
three instances - before the Dawn Prayer, at noon when you
change your clothes to rest, and after the Night Prayer.
These are three private times for you. At other times, it
is not wrong for you or them to mingle with one another.
GOD thus clarifies the revelations for you. GOD is
Omniscient, Most Wise.There is apparently The Dawn Prayer and also The Night Prayer. It says the noon when we change clothes to rest, .... this buggs me. Is this a prayer? I mean, it doesn't talk about prayer, it talks about changing the clothes at noon, probably from the sweat, i assume must be pretty hot in the desert. But it is clear about the two prayers - Dawn and Night Prayers.
Zuhr Salat
You shall observe the Contact Prayer (Salat) when
the sun declines from its highest point at noon, as it
moves towards sunset. You shall also observe (the
recitation of) the Quran at dawn. (Reciting) the Quran at
dawn is witnessed.Okay, The Zuhr Salat it is clear FIRST; it says to observe the salat and tells us the time, THEN; it tells us to observe the Quran and tells us when. There's a difference, correct?
All praise is due to Him in the heavens and the
earth, throughout the evening, as well as in the middle of
your day.This talks about praise and how it is done throughout the evening as well as in the middle of the day. Not prayer, praise is done throughout the day.
Asar Salat
You shall consistently observe the Contact Prayers,
especially the middle prayer, and devote yourselves totally
to GOD.This one still bugs me. Why is the Middle Prayer made special?
Therefore, be patient in the face of their
utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise
and before sunset. And during the night glorify Him, as
well as at both ends of the day, that you may be happy.It says to praise and glorify your Lord and tells us when - before the sunrise, before the sunset and when it talks about night, it just says glorify Him. Also, glorify Him at both ends of the day. So, glorification is before sunrise, before sunet, during the night and at both ends of the day. Gklorification is then all the time, correct. But does glorification equal praying or a prayer?
That's what i'd like to know.All praise is due to Him in the heavens and the
earth, throughout the evening, as well as in the middle of
your day.Praise is also done in the heavens, on earth, throughout the evening and also in the middle of the day. Praise, not praying.
Therefore, be patient in the face of their
utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before
sunrise, and before sunset.See, praise and glorify the Lord before sunrise and before sunset. Praise and glorify, i'm not reading, pray to Him at these time or be inside of a prayer. Or am i missing something here?
MAGHRAB Salat
You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) at
both ends of the day, and during the night. The righteous
works wipe out the evil works. This is a reminder for those
who would take heed.Now this is clear! Observe the Contact Prayers, both ends of the day, meaning, Dawn and Evening, right? Then also at night.
Therefore, be patient in the face of their
utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise
and before sunset. And during the night glorify Him, as
well as at both ends of the day, that you may be happy.Again, we have to praise and glorify The God before sunrise - Dawn, and also before sunset - evening, correct? Also during the night, right?
Therefore, be patient in the face of their
utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before
sunrise, and before sunset.This is understandable to me. I will do as i am told here i will praise and glorify my Lord before the sunrise and before the sunset.
ISHA Salat
Also during the night glorify Him, and at dawn as
the stars fade away.This is also clear.
And commemorate the name of your Lord day and
night.Now The God uses different word - commemorate. Sometimes it's glorfy, then praise, then observe the contact prayers, now it is commemorate.
During the night, fall prostrate before Him, and
glorify Him many a long night.This is clear.
Therefore, be patient in the face of their
utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise
and before sunset. And during the night glorify Him, as
well as at both ends of the day, that you may be happy.This is clear.
You shall observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) at
both ends of the day, and during the night. The righteous
works wipe out the evil works. This is a reminder for those
who would take heed.This is clear.
Therefore, you shall glorify GOD when you retire at
night, and when you rise in the morning.This is clear.
All praise is due to Him in the heavens and the
earth, throughout the evening, as well as in the middle of
your day.This is clear.
thank u for reading the article peace
I will do some more research on this.
May The God bless you all.
As salamu alaykum wr wb. -
Salam Brother Alen,
One more time, the proof about the 3 times for salat are more evident.
thanks for your excelent insight about the difference between "Prayer" and 'Praise'.
In the site submission.org they put in the following sequence, but after his post above, their arguments fail.
SeeFIVE PRAYERS A DAY AND THEIR TIME
God gave us the times for the Salat (contact Prayers) in the Quran
(1) The Dawn Prayer (Fajr in Arabic) given in 11114, 2458
(2) The Noon Prayer (Zuher in Arabic) , given in 1778 and 3018
(3) The Afternoon Prayer (Asr in Arabic), given in 2238
(4) The sunset Prayer (Maghrib in Arabic), given in 11114
(5) The Night Prayer (Isha in Arabic), given in 2458Of course, the 3018 is the great confusion. But, after we know what means prayer and praise, the solution is clear one (the first) salat in dawn (before the sunrise), the second in dusk (after sunset but before the night) and the third salat in the night.
But and about the "extra salat" (after the isha salat) in the middle of the night mentioned in Quran?
Stay in peace, -
peace! handshake
makes sence to me...

I believe that verse 2458 completely kills three salats (at least two for sure) noon and afternoon (asr). The word "thaheeranoon" is mentioned in this verse, but explained as when we put off our clothes, not when we perform salaat, whereas fajr salat and ishaa' salaat are mentioned by name (no other saalat is mentioned so explicitly in the Quran). It also puts to an end the notion that "middle salaat" means "afternoon salaat", because if it was so important, why wasn't its time mentioned in this verse as one of the "critical" periods we need for ourselves?
Verse 629 further confirms that no day prayers except on the day of gathering/Friday. God has created day/ nahaar for our bread-winning (7811), so He is asking us that on that day we should abandon all business to go to the gathering/Friday salaat. If we have to do this everyday (noon and afternoon salaat), why this emphasis on that day?
-
I am not in "fever" sorry, please do not take it personally. I just couldn't help myself. I apologize in advance for the joke.
Actually, in my opinion, Salah has nothing to do with ritual worship or even contact...
5016 Now indeed, it is We Who have created man and We know the whispering that goes on within his mind (all the intricacies of his thought process), for, We are nearer to him than his Vena cava.
If He knows what we think and feel, explain why would He ask for us to physically bow and prostrate?
Maybe the ritual (and I hesitate to call it Salah) can be used as a tool to satisfy our human-limited idea of God, but certainly not if we are to follow the Quran. Quran urges us to be people of action. Each of our actions should demonstrate service to God, which in itself is "Ibaadah"... Please explain how would a ritual prayer be of any practical benefit to humanity in the long run? What kind of God demands ritual worship? Does He need reassurance by us that He is God? He would already know how we feel about Him by probing our hearts and minds...

Peace all,
The word "yaum" in al-qur'aan refers to a time period and not necessarily daylight so 629 does not necessarily prove that there is no DAY salat.
In my understanding, there is no such thing as the Friday prayer. There is no basis of a seven day week from al-qur'aan. The proper name of the day Jumaa was hijacked from the common noun "al-jumaa" from 629 meaning "assembly or gathering" and "yaum al-jumaa" in 629 means "time of the assembly/gathering". Now Allah never leaves anything vague/unclear in al-qur'aan. Which time is the time of the assembly/gathering according to al-qur'aan then ? If we look closely we find that the only time we are called to gather/assemble in this world in al-qur'aan is for hajj
2227 And call out to the people with the hajj, they will come to you walking and on every transport, they will come from every deep enclosure.
In my understanding the "yaum al-jumaa" in 629 refers to this time when the people are gathered for hajj and 629 refers to the call to the salat at this particular assembly/gathering for hajj and then the command to hasten towards remembring Allah and CEASE ALL SELLING makes total sense.
There is evidence of only two REQUIRED salat for muslimeen/mumineen in al-qur'aan. 1779 when read combined with 1778 kills any REQUIRED salat after dusk, and 1778 kills any REQUIRED salat between dawn and dusk.
1779 is proof that there is no more required salat at night after the one at dusk (from rubbing of the sun against horizon to the darkness of the night)
1778 You shall perform the salat from the rubbing of the sun at the horizon and declination at the time of its setting (lidulook al-shams) till the darkness of the night/twilight; and the Quran at dawn; the Quran at dawn is witnessed.
1779 And from the night you shall reflect upon it additionally for yourself, perhaps your Lord would grant you to a high rank.By the usage of the words "wamina allayli" (and from the night) in 1779 it is clear that after the time of the dusk salat mentioned in 1778 (from the rubbing of the sun at horizon to the darkness of the night), there is no more REQUIRED salat at night.
"Dulook" means both "rubbing" and "declination" and at the time of setting of the sun, BOTH occur rubbing against the horizon and declination. Thus "lidulook al-shams" in 1778 can only mean "the rubbing of the sun at the horizon and declination at the time of its setting".
11114 also kills any required salat during day between dawn and dusk. The phrase "and the near parts of the night" also refers to the same time period of dawn and dusk where night and daytime overlap and merge. The phrase "atraaf al-nihaar" as mentioned in al-qur-aan in 20130 implies that daylight can have many edges. The phrase "and the near parts of the night" in 11114 qualifies which two edges of daylight are being referred to in 11114 the ones near the night. Thus the only CONSISTENT times of salat referred to in 1778, 11114, and 2458 are dawn and dusk.
In my understanding there is no such thing as the "middle" prayer in al-qur'aan. That is the wrong translation of "salat al-wusta" which means "best/balanced/moderate salat" in the context of 2238 and al-qur'aan as a whole. According to 2238 Allah wants us to uphold all our salaats in the best/balanced/moderate manner.
Firstly, which salat would be the "middle" salat ? If there are 3 salats x, y and z then depending on which one is the first or initial salat would determine the middle salat. For example if x is the first or initial salat then y would be the middle salat, but if y is the first salat then z would be the middle one, and if z is the first salat then x would be the middle one.
Allah never leaves something vague as al-qur'aan is clear and detailed. I challenge anyone to give qur'aanic evidence as to which salat is CLEARLY the first salat and which salat is CLEARLY the "middle" salat according to al-qur'aan. If the middle salat is so important as to be mentioned separately in 2238 then Allah should have clearly told us which salat He is talking about as the middle salat and not leave it unclear and up to guess work.
Secondly, in 2238 when it says protect the salats in the beginning of the verse, that logically includes ALL salats and then it is redundant to say AND the middle salat, if the middle salat is a separate salat, because the word salats in the beginning of the verse automatically includes the middle salat as well IF THERE IS INDEED A MIDDLE SALAT. That logically proves that by "salat al-wusta" Allah does not mean a separate middle salat but is giving a descriptive property of how ALL our salats should be, i.e. the best/balanced/moderate salat, meaning that all our salats should be upheld in the best/balanced/moderate manner.
Thirdly, if one studies the usage of all the words derived from the root WST in al-qur'aan one finds that the meaning "middle" does not fit in any of those usages but the meaning best/balanced/moderate fits in those occurrences. Thus in 2238 "wusta" cannot mean middle because of the logical contradiction presented in the second paragraph above, and can only mean "best/balanced/moderate" as per context of that verse and the usage of similar words throughout al-qur'aan.
Please also refer to following links for explanation of what "salat al-wusta" means in context of 2238
